The game
starts with the Hawke
family escaping Ferelden with an army of Darkspawn in pursuit. Soon
however, they are forced to fight the overwhelming threat alongside a
Templar, Wesley, and his wife, Aveline. Although one of Hawke's siblings
(either Bethany or Carver, depending on Hawke's class) is killed, the
skirmish ends with the intervention of Flemeth, a witch who can assume
the form of a huge dragon. After
promising
to complete a task for Flemeth and mercy-killing Wesley, she helps the
party escape to Kirkwall, a city across the sea where they hope to find
refuge. Upon arriving in Kirkwall however, the party finds itself
outside the city
gates, which are overwhelmed by Ferelden refugees. The group is forced to call upon their Uncle Gamlen Amell, who no longer holds
the fortune
and estate that used to be held by the Amell family. Therefore, Hawke
sees no choice but to enter the service of either a mercenary or a
smuggler group. The group Hawke chooses then pays the bribe that the
Hawke family needs to enter the city, and they take up residence in
Gamlen's small dilapidated house in Lowtown.
After a year of service for one of the two groups, an opportunity of
prosperity presents itself: The dwarf brothers Bartrand and Varric are
planning a treasure hunting expedition into the perilous region of the
Deep Roads. The expedition is expected to be extremely risky but very
rewarding. Bartrand refuses to hire any more warriors; Varric, however,
reveals that they desperately lack enough funding and knowledge of the
region. Therefore, he approaches Hawke and proposes a partnership in
exchange for the fulfillment of the two requirements. As such, Hawke
embarks on an adventurous quest to earn the needed capital and enlist
the aid of Anders, a rogue mage and a former Grey Warden who possesses
the precious knowledge about The Deep Roads.
The Deep Roads expedition proves both a financial success and a tragedy:
Hawke's party survive the perilous expedition. The proceeds make Hawke
famous and wealthy, enabling him to relocate to a mansion in Hightown.
However, both Varric and Hawke lose one of their siblings: During the
expedition, a very powerful magical idol causes Bartrand to go
permanently insane. Consequently, he betrays Hawke and Varric, stranding
them at the mercy of a merciless horde of the Darkspawn and a very
powerful magical Rock Wraith. Depending on the player's choices, Hawke's
sibling (Carver or Bethany) is either killed by the Darkspawn or is
forced to leave the family.
Three years later, Hawke is summoned by the Viscount of Kirkwall to help
resolve
the political situation that the foreign military forces of Qunari have
caused. The Qunari, who had arrived in Kirkwall three years before,
neither obey the laws of Kirkwall nor seem willing to leave in the
foreseeable future. While Hawke investigates the reason of their
presence (which they are unwilling to supply), the tension between the
Qunari and the inhabitants of Kirkwall escalates. An anti-Qunari faction
attempts to instigate a war to purge the Qunari from the city, while
dissidents and criminals join the Qunari to evade law enforcement.
Personal tragedy also strikes Hawke when their mother Leandra is
abducted by a blood mage serial killer preying on Kirkwall's women;
Hawke finds and kills the murderer, but too late to save Leandra.
Eventually, as Hawke discovers the reason of the Qunari presence (the
search for a coveted artifact) the tension reaches such a height that
the Qunari
decide to attack Kirkwall and execute the Viscount. Hawke's party
successfully
retake Kirkwall and (if the player chooses) eliminate the Qunari
leader. For their actions, Hawke is declared the champion of Kirkwall.
After another three years, Kirkwall still lacks a Viscount due to the
tyrannical rule of Knight-Commander Meredith and the Templars of
Kirkwall, who turn Kirkwall into a police state that she rules with an
iron fist. While the main duty of the Templars is to enforce justice
amongst the mages in Kirkwall and to prevent the practice of
blood magic (an evil
branch
of magic), they practically cause the opposite through their
heavy-handed and oppressive treatment of the innocent, extensive use of
torture, unlawful infliction of
the Rite
of Tranquility upon mages (which effectively lobotomizes the inflicted
person), as well as their own decadence and corruption. Time and again,
the clash between the Templars and the mages becomes violent and forces
Hawke to intervene, especially when a group of anti-Meredith rebels
kidnap one of Hawke's family/friends and hold him or her hostage.
Eventually, Anders decides to force the Templars' hand and,
with or without
Hawke's help, orchestrates a massive explosion that levels the Kirkwall
Chantry and kills the Grand Cleric to whom the Templars bear
allegiance. This act triggers the final decisive battle between the
mages and the Templars across the city, in which the player must pick a
side. If Hawke fights alongside the Templars, he or she is made Viscount
of the Kirkwall; alternatively, fighting alongside the mages results in
Hawke becoming the symbol of global rebellion against the Chantry.
Regardless of the choice, however, Hawke must kill both the Templar
commander Meredith (who has purchased Bartrand's idol and refashioned it
into a weapon to fight the mages) and the mage leader Orsino (who gives
into blood magic to protect his charges from the Templars.)
As he concludes his story, Varric reveals that Hawke's companions
eventually drift apart and Hawke disappears. It is also revealed that
the Circles of Magi all over Thedas have followed Kirkwall's example and
rebelled, and the Templars have broken away with the Chantry to fight
the Circles. Satisfied, Cassandra tells Varric that she believes Hawke
is the only person capable of stopping the fighting, and lets him go.
Outside, she meets with fellow Seeker Leliana, and they both agree that
either Hawke or the Warden must be found in order to stop the coming
war.
